Wouldn't It Be Nice?

Wouldn't it be nice if we only had to care for the drains in our homes
but not outside in the ground? Drain Doctor, our counterpart in the United
Kingdom, recently blogged on just that.

A new law that came in to affect recently in England and Wales means that
property owners will no longer be responsible for all the drains on their
property. Instead some will become the responsibility of the local water company.

"Under the recent law, householders were responsible for most of the
pipes that run through their property - even those that they may not know
exist under the ground outside their house!"

As of October 1st the laws changed for some private land depending upon
the layout of your drainage system. Not only easing the burden of responsibility,
having the water companies manage maintenance could ease the burden of
costly repairs.
